With that "should end in X" idea in mind, Linus chose to name it Freax (because it was a /free/ UNIX). When he uploaded a very early version to an FTP server at Helsinki, his friend, who administered the server, changed the directory name from "freax" to "linux", thinking the latter was a much better name. Linus at first thought it would be too egotistical to name it that, but he let the name stick. I'm glad he did. |
